Partial-Birth and Sex Selection Abortion

Partial-birth Abortion

John Paul states "[That] the acceptance of abortion in the popular mind, in behavior and even in law itself, is a telling sign of an extremely dangerous crisis of the moral sense, which is becoming more and more incapable of distinguishing between good and evil, even when the fundamental right to life is at stake." As the dignity of every human person is made clear by the Church, so too is the intrinsically illicit act of abortion. Yet partial-birth abortion is a particularly brutal practice that should be opposed as an affront to the dignity of life at its most vulnerable state.
